They represent senior executives and innovators at organizations serving buyers of commercial insurance, reinsurance, risk management and benefits. The list was compiled from hundreds of nominations by readers and was selected by a panel of senior BI editors, comprising women and men.
BI’s Women to Watch is an annual feature that highlights a new set of women leaders each year. We consider it a starting point, not an end, for discussions on the importance of women in an industry that serves a diverse group of clients.
In general, the women on our list are in client-facing roles that directly affect risk managers, benefit managers or commercial insurers. Women involved behind the scenes in administrative roles are no less important, but our focus is on direct impact on buyers.
